Installation and commissioning
Rain/Wind Sensor KNX RW
• Status: 19.08.2013 • Technical changes reserved. Errors reserved.
The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when assem-
bled and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks and only in
the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur
after publication of these operating instructions.
2.2. Location
Select an assembly location at the building where precipitation and wind may be col-
lected by the sensors unobstructedly. Do not assemble any construction components
above the sensor from where water may drop on to the rain and wind sensor after it
has stopped raining or snowing. At least 60 cm of free space must be left beneath the
device to enable correct wind measurement and prevent snowing in when there is
snow. The distance also protects the unit against damage by birds.
2.3. Mounting the sensor
2.3.1. Attaching the mount
The sensor comes with a combination wall/pole mount. The mount comes adhered by
adhesive strips to the rear side of the housing. Fasten the mount vertically onto the wall
or pole.
